Need to set DigiSeer aside for a while?
Deactivating the plugin loses nothing, and even a deletion can be undone for 60 days.
- Deactivate (Plugins → Deactivate):
- a window lists the pages that show the chat.
Without the plugin, they would show "[DigiSeer]" as text: edit them or set them to draft. - It also asks why you are deactivating DigiSeer (optional).
- Your settings, the plugin key and your indexed content are kept: reactivating the plugin restores everything.
- a window lists the pages that show the chat.
- Delete (once deactivated):
- the plugin settings are erased from WordPress;
- the search page created by the plugin is set to draft if you have not changed it;
- your other pages are never touched.
- In both cases, DigiSeer is notified:
- the Dashboard and the Indexing page show it;
- automatic indexing stops;
- on deletion, an e-mail notifies the owner of the site with the date the data will be erased;
- on a paid plan, it also reminds you that the subscription continues.
- Don't worry: after a deletion, the data of the site stays with us for 60 days, as a deletion may be accidental (manual update):
- reinstalling the plugin and opening its DigiSeer menu restores everything;
- without reinstallation, it is erased after 60 days (indexed content, settings, statistics and visitors' questions), after a reminder e-mail 7 days before;
- usage statements and invoices are kept.
- To erase it right away, or stop paying for this site, delete the site from the Subscription page: see Too many sites, replacing or deleting a site.
